oss4lib-discuss

OSS4LIB folks,
As you're probably aware, the "classic" logo now available on mugs is
somewhat[1] minimalist.
I'd love to see an eyecatching mug (or shirt, or what-have-you) that would
make officemates say "Wow! What the heck does oss4lib mean?"
Why not try your hand at this and post the URL so we can all see your
results? dc can then make merchandise out of whatever he likes.

[1] in the same sense that having source code is somewhat useful.

I like the third variation best, although possibly with the same amount of
colour as the first or second.
Here's a suggestion: instead of the binary 1s and 0s appearing in the
stripe, how about some source code instead (seeing as this is oSs4lib, and
not bin4lib :)
Next question ... which bit of source code?

Good suggestion. Think it should be formatted (indented and everything) or
just a long string of code that keep wrapping to the next line? I will try
this out later today and post to the list. I will be glad to do a 300dpi
of the first one if people like it. Let's wait a bit to see what else
turns up though... I know we have some creative people on this list and I'm
looking forward to other ideas.

or you could play on the whole gnu recursion thing and have the text be
xml for the vector-image of the logo

Yeow! The top image is amazing -- I'd buy a mug with that design! It'll
be great as a shoulder banner on the back of a T-shirt, too.
I wonder what we could put on the front of a T-shirt, or on a
mousepad. Something a bit more square, I guess. Anyone have a good
manifesto we could use? I'm fond of the images on
http://www.adminspotting.org/pngs.html but they're a bit
naughty-mouthed. (You have been warned. They're funny, though.)
Kevin, when you get the chance, could you possibly supply a 300DPI
version? (Assuming, of course, that others like it as much as I do.)
CafePress suggests the following image sizes for T-shirts:
150 DPI 8x10: 1200 pixels by 1500 pixels. (Full-size image)
150 DPI 6x6: 900 pixels by 900 pixels. (Pocket area)
150 DPI 4x10: 600 pixels by 1500 pixels. (Shoulder banner)
For 11oz mugs:
200 DPI: 1662 pixels wide by 600 high.
300 DPI: 2493 pixels wide by 900 high.
For 15oz mugs (my preference):
200 DPI: 1775 pixels wide by 600 high.
300 DPI: 2663 pixels wide by 900 high.
For mousepads:
100 DPI: 950 by 800 pixels.
150 DPI: 1425 by 1200 pixels.
200 DPI: 1900 by 1600 pixels.
